Abstract
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/094,664, filed Sep. 5, 2008, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, and claims priority from European Patent Application EP 08 015 721.7, filed Sep. 5, 2008, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present application relates to a bone anchoring element and to a stabilization device for bones, in particular for the spinal column, including such a bone anchoring element.
- In the case of replacement of a severely injured or degenerated intervertebral disc or vertebra by fusion cages or bone segments stabilization devices using rigid metal rods are commonly used which are anchored in the neighboring vertebrae by polyaxial bone screws.
- In specific clinical applications it is advantageous to maintain a certain mobility of the motion segments of the spinal column. In these cases, a dynamic stabilization system having bone anchoring elements and flexible rods are used. For example, US 2005/0085815 A1 and US 2007/0049937 A1 describe dynamic stabilization systems having a hollow metallic rod with a flexible section formed by a helix-shaped recess in the wall and a core provided in the hollow rod.
- A dynamic stabilization device using polyaxial screws and an elastomer rod is described in EP 1 795 134 A1.
- The known stabilization devices with flexible rods are suitable for the dynamic stabilization and motion control of the spinal column with respect to axial tension and compression forces.
- Due to the anatomy of the spinal column, small sized implant constructs are required. Therefore, the flexible rods should have small outer diameters which makes it possible to design the receiving part of the polyaxial screw with a low profile and small overall dimensions.
- In clinical cases of early degeneration or partial damages or injuries of intervertebral discs, the corresponding motion segments of the spinal column are subject to increased rotational movements and/or increased shearing forces. Such rotational movements and shearing and/or bending forces can cause strong pain. In addition, the flexible rods made of metal or elastomers may not be able to withstand higher forces for a long time due to their small diameter. In particular, shearing and rotational forces may cause an overload of the flexible rod.
- Based on the foregoing, there is a need to provide a bone anchoring element and a stabilization device, in particular for the spinal column, which is suitable for cases in which increased rotational and shearing movements of the spinal column are present.
- A disclosed bone anchoring element includes a receiving part having a U-shaped recess forming a channel in which a stabilizing rod can be inserted and additionally includes lateral guides for accommodating connection rods with a smaller diameter. A disclosed stabilization device includes at least two such bone anchoring elements and at least one connection rod. The bone anchoring element is preferably a polyaxial bone screw.
- The bone anchoring element and the stabilization device has an increased resistance against shearing and rotational forces without hindering the axial damping and the precision adjustment of the stabilization device and it offers a modular system allowing various combinations of flexible rods and connection rods.

FIGS. 1 to 5 the bone stabilization device 1 according to a first embodiment includes aflexible rod 2 and at least one laterally arrangedconnection rod 3 which are both connected tobone anchoring elements - The
flexible rod 2 includes at least aportion 2 a exhibiting flexibility under the action of compression and extension forces acting along the rod axis and under the action of torsional, shearing and/or bending forces. In the embodiment shown, theflexible rod 2 is made of a hollow tube of a rigid material, such as a body compatible metal, metal alloy, in particular of titanium, Nitinol, stainless steel or of a rigid body compatible plastic material such as PEEK or carbon fiber reinforced PEEK. The length of the flexible rod is such that it spans at least the distance between two adjacent vertebrae. In the embodiment shown, the flexible rod spans the distance between three adjacent vertebrae. Theflexible portion 2 a is provided betweenrigid portions 2 b. Therigid portions 2 b are connected to the bone anchoring elements. The flexibility of the flexible portion is achieved by a helix-shaped recess in the wall of the hollow tube. However, any other design conferring flexibility to the rod is possible. - At both sides of the
flexible rod 2 asolid connection rod 3 is arranged the diameter of which is smaller than that of theflexible rod 2. The length of each of theconnection rods 3 can be the same as that of theflexible rod 2 or can be smaller than that of theflexible rod 2. In the embodiment shown, theconnection rods 3 are not fully straight, but have a firststraight section 3 a, astep portion 3 b and a secondstraight section 3 c. Theconnection rods 3 are preferably less flexible when compared to theflexible section 2 a of theflexible rod 2. For example, theconnection rods 3 are made of a body compatible metal such as stainless steel, titanium, titanium alloys such as Nitinol or a rigid plastic material such as PEEK or carbon reinforced PEEK. - The diameter of the
connections rods 3 is considerably smaller than that of theflexible stabilization rod 2. However, the diameter of theconnections rods 3 has to have such a size that theconnection rods 3 are rigid enough to resist bending forces. - The two
lateral connection rods 3 are connected to each other at one of their respective ends by means of abracket 5 which is formed such that it is orientated downwards or upwards in order to circumvent theflexible rod 2. Thebracket 5 can be integrally formed with therods 3 or can be a separate part which is connectable to therods 3. - The
bone anchoring element 4 is designed in the form of a polyaxial bone screw. It includes a screw element having a threadedshank 41 and spherically shapedhead 42 and a receivingpart 43 for receiving theflexible rod 2 and theconnection rods 3. The receivingpart 3 has a substantially cylindrical or cuboid shape with afirst end 43 a and an oppositesecond end 43 b and acoaxial bore 44 extending from thefirst end 43 a in the direction of thesecond end 43 b and tapering towards the second end such that a seat is provided for thehead 42 of the screw element which is pivotably held in the receiving part. - As can be seen in particular in
FIG. 5 the receivingpart 43 includes a substantiallyU-shaped recess 45 extending from thefirst end 43 a in the direction of thesecond end 43 b. By means of the U-shaped recess twofree legs flexible rod 2. - In the wall of each of the
free legs bores free legs 46 a, 46 so that theconnection rods 3 can be guided through the bores from one side of the receiving part and exit through the other side. The size of the bores is such that the diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of theconnection rods 3 to allow a sliding movement of theconnection rods 3 within thebores - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 2 thebores free legs holes flexible rod 2 when theflexible rod 2 is inserted. - The polyaxial bone screw further includes a
pressure element 48 which is substantially cylindrical so as to be movable in thebore 44 and which has on its side facing the head 42 aspherical recess 49 to encompass a portion of the head to distribute the pressure onto thehead 42. It further includes acoaxial bore 50 to allow access to thehead 42. On its side opposite to the spherical recess thepressure element 48 has a cylinder segment-shapedrecess 51 which is sized such that theflexible rod 2 can be inserted and guided therein. In the embodiment shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 the cylinder segment-shapedrecess 51 is sized such that the flexible rod projects above the pressure element. - The bone anchoring element further includes a
fixation screw 52 which engages with an inner thread of thefree legs fixation screw 52 serves for pressing onto theflexible rod 2 in the receiving part and therefore indirectly pressing onto thepressure element 48 for exerting pressure onto thehead 42 to lock the angular position of the screw element with respect to the receiving part. -
FIG. 3 shows abone anchoring element 4′ which is a modification of the bone anchoring element which is suitable for accommodating theportion 3 c of the connection rods shown inFIG. 4 . It differs from the bone anchoring element according toFIG. 2 in the construction of thebores 47 a′, 47W. All other elements of the bone anchoring element are the same as those of the bone anchoring element ofFIG. 2 and the description thereof will not be repeated. Thebores 47 a′, 47 b′ have a semi-circular cross section. The bores are open to the channel which accommodates theflexible rod 2. Theconnection rods 3 are secured from inside the receiving part by theflexible rod 2 against falling out from thebores 47 a′, 47 b′. With this embodiment, it is possible to arrange theconnection rods 3 more closely to theflexible rod 2 and the connection rods can be put in place through the U-shaped channel. As particularly shown inFIGS. 1 and 4 , with this construction it is possible to span several motion segments of the spinal column with different distances of theflexible rod 2 and theconnection rods 3 from each other. - Although the first embodiment shows that the
connection rods 3 can be connected with each other with a integrally formedbracket 5, other possibilities are possible. For example, the connection rods can be mechanically connected at one or at both ends with a connection which is applied after the rods have been introduced into the receiving parts. They must not necessarily be connected, but can be single rods. To avoid that the single rods escape from the receiving parts in the course of their sliding movement, one end of therods 3 can have a larger diameter which prevents sliding through the guides. - Although the connection rods are shown as cylindrical rods, the cross section of the connection rods may be non-circular, for example oval-shaped, polygon-shaped or otherwise shaped.
- Although the outer shape along the rod axis is shown to have a
bent portion 3 b inFIG. 4 , the connection rods can be straight. - With the bone anchoring element shown in
FIG. 2 , the connection rods are secured within thebores - The
bracket 5 shown inFIG. 1 not only serves for connection of theconnection rods 3 but also forms a stop for the sliding movement of theconnection rods 3. It is also possible to provide a stop at the opposite end at a distance from the anchoringelement 4 so that theconnection rods 3 are still fully movable. - The guides and/or the connection rods can be provided with materials and/or devices for facilitating sliding of the
connection rods 3. Such materials and/or devices can be, for example, coating, sliding guides or sliding bearings. -
FIGS. 6 to 10 show a second embodiment of the stabilization device which differs from the first embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 to 5 only by thepressure element 480 compared to thepressure element 48. Thepressure element 480 which allows to omit theflexible rod 2 and to provide stabilization only via theconnection rods 3. All other elements and parts are identical to the first embodiment and the description thereof will not be repeated. - The
pressure element 480 has instead of the cylinder segment-shaped recess 51 acylindrical portion 481 which extends coaxially to the main portion of the pressure element and has a diameter which is smaller than the main portion. The length of thecylindrical portion 481 is such that the pressure element extends up to thefixation screw 52 so that thefixation screw 52 can press thepressure element 480 downwards when it is tightened. This embodiment is particularly suitable for applications where a flexible rod is not necessary. If the stabilization device is used without a flexible rod a shown inFIGS. 6 to 10 , thepressure element 480 can be used instead of thepressure element 48 while all other parts of the first embodiment remaining the same. Hence, the construction of the bone anchoring element with respect to thebores -
FIGS. 11 and 12 show a third embodiment of the stabilization device which differs from the second embodiment according toFIGS. 6 to 10 only in that thebracket 5 connecting therods 3 is omitted. In such a case, it is advantageous to provide stops at both ends of the connection rods to allow a free but limited movement of the connecting rods in the receiving parts. -
FIGS. 13 to 16 show a fourth embodiment of the stabilization device. In this embodiment aflexible rod 2 and fullystraight connection rods 3 are used which are connected by thebracket 5. In this case, the assembly of theconnection rods 3 can be introduced in the receiving parts simultaneously by gripping the bracket. - The
bone anchoring element 400 of the fourth embodiment differs from thebone anchoring element 4 described in connection with the first embodiment by the location and design of the guides for guiding theconnection rods 3. Thefree legs recesses recesses connection rods 3 can slide therein. To prevent escaping of therods 3, thefree legs support structure 471 supporting aclosure element 472, for example a closure bar, which closes therecess recesses bores - All other portions of the
bone anchoring element 400 are identical to those of the first embodiment. It shall be noted that thebone anchoring element 400 can also be provided with apressure element 480 described before when the use of aflexible rod 2 is not necessary. - The stabilization device of a fifth embodiment according to
FIGS. 17 to 20 has instead of theflexible rod 2 which is a hollow tube with a flexible section, aflexible rod 20 which is made of a flexible plastic material such as an elastomer, for example polyurethane, polycarbonateurethane (PCU) or polysiloxane. Theflexible rod 20 exhibits axial flexibility under the action of axial extension or compression. Thebone anchoring element 401 is adapted to clamp theflexible rod 20 as can be seen inFIG. 18 . Thebone anchoring element 401 includesbores pressure element 402 and thefixation element 404. Thepressure element 402 extends above the surface of theflexible rod 20 when theflexible rod 20 is inserted. On the bottom of therecess 51projections 403 are formed which engage in the surface of theflexible rod 20. Thefixation element 404 is a fixation screw as in the first embodiment. However, it has aprojection 405 on its lower side facing theflexible rod 20 which engages in the surface structure of theflexible rod 20. By means of this construction theflexible rod 20 is clamped between the pressure element and the fixation screw without blocking thehead 42 in the receiving part. Thehead 42 is locked in its angular position by tightening thefixation screw 404 so that the pressure element presses onto the head. - Although various embodiments have been described in detail the invention is not limited thereto. Single elements of each embodiment can be combined with the other embodiment. In particular, the guides for the
connection rods 3 can be varied between the embodiments described. Although specific designs of polyaxial bone screws are described, other designs can also be used, for example polyaxial screws with two part locking elements, polyaxial screws wherein the screw element is loaded into the receiving part from the top or from the bottom, polyaxial screws with various shapes of pressure elements to lock the angular position of the screw element with respect to the receiving part. - Although the embodiments show only polyaxial screws as bone anchoring elements, it is conceivable to provide the guides for the connection rods also in the receiving parts of monoaxial bone screws. However, a dynamic stabilization usually requires the use of polyaxial bone anchoring elements.
- In use, first, at least two polyaxial bone anchoring elements are anchored in adjacent vertebral bodies or bone parts. Thereafter, the connection rods are inserted into the guides of the polyaxial bone anchoring elements for aligning the receiving parts with respect to each other in an axial direction. If bone anchoring elements are used which have guides for the connection rods in the form of recesses instead of the through holes the connection rods can be clipped into the recesses by inserting them in the U-shaped channel. This facilitates the step of connecting the bone anchoring elements. Then, the flexible rod is inserted. After insertion of the flexible rod the position and the distance of the bone anchoring elements from each other is adjusted. Finally the flexible rod is fixed by tightening the fixation element.
- During movements of the motion segments of the spinal column the
connection rods 3 can slide within the guides. The connection rods provide resistance against torsional and/or shearing and/or bending forces acting on the stabilization device. - While a particular form of the disclosure has been illustrated and described, it will be apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, it is not intended that the disclosure be limited, except as by the appended claims.
